Put Me Out

You bought your smile on a corner

You paid a pretty little penny, you did.

You paint yourself in a picture

As you deny the kind of person you've been



You kill what you fear, what you wish to be

You kill with sarcastic sincerity

You sharpened your guilt like a guillotine

You kill what you fear, you kill what you fear



I gave you everything, you threw it away.

Put me out like a cigarette, out like a cigarette.

Love like a cancer, still you beg me to stay

Put me out like a cigarette, out like a cigarette.



Come on!



You bought right into the moment,

You paid a pretty little penny, you did.

You never noticed how broken

As you deny the kind of person you've been



You kill what you fear, what you wish to be

You kill with sarcastic sincerity

You sharpened your guilt like a guillotine

You kill what you fear, you kill what you fear



I gave you everything, you threw it away.

Put me out like a cigarette, out like a cigarette.

Love like a cancer, still you beg me to stay

Put me out like a cigarette, out like a cigarette.



Fear you kneel to pray

Live life on your knees

Embrace the disease

Stop to breathe me in

As you start to choke

Your new life begins



You put me out! Like a cigarette! [x4]



I gave you everything, you threw it away.

Put me out like a cigarette, out like a cigarette.

Love like a cancer, still you beg me to stay

Put me out like a cigarette, out like a cigarette.
